What Is Overweight Freight?
Overweight freight refers to cargo that exceeds standard weight limits set by DOT regulations. These shipments require careful planning, permitting, and often specialized equipment to ensure legal and safe transportation.
R&R Global Logistics specializes in managing these high-stakes moves — from industrial machinery and construction materials to specialized equipment — that don’t fit within conventional transport parameters.
These loads often require custom routing, loading/unloading processes, escort vehicles, and advanced compliance with state and federal laws. The margin for error is low — which is why experience, precision, and industry knowledge are essential.
Our Capabilities
RGNs (Removable Goosenecks)
For extremely heavy, ground-loading shipments that require flexibility and support.
Lowboys
Ideal for hauling tall machinery and oversized cargo due to their lower deck height.
Double Drops & Step Decks
For loads with height restrictions and specialized drop deck needs.
Multi-Axle Configurations
Distributes weight effectively to meet legal limits on heavier loads.
Power-Only Units
When you already have your trailer, we provide the skilled power to pull it.
Permit & Escort Coordination
We handle the paperwork, secure the permits, and coordinate with certified escort drivers when required.
Why Overweight Freight Matters
Overweight loads are not just bigger — they are riskier, more regulated, and costlier when done wrong. A single mistake in permitting or route planning can result in fines, damage, or delays.
That’s why partnering with a seasoned logistics provider like R&R is crucial. We don’t just move freight — we solve logistical puzzles involving safety, state-by-state regulations, and engineering-level coordination.
By managing every detail, we help reduce downtime, increase safety, and ensure predictable outcomes for our clients’ most valuable shipments.

Hear Why Logistics Managers Trust R&R
-
I began working with R&R Global Logistics about 3 years ago, when I was at InterWrap Corp. Their attention to detail and performance caught my attention with the first load, and continued to increase. Our broker, Jade, was very helpful during the acquisition of InterWrap Corp by Owens Corning by making sure all loads given to her were handled with care. At my new position, R&R Global was the first carrier that I brought on. This was solely based on the relationship that was created with Jade. She is always professional, always helpful, and I can trust her.
